Abstract :
A computerized data class library for the DICOM standard which supports DICOM image. Management and transfer over a network has been developed by using the Object-oriented language C++. The classes have been used to build a computed radiography archive system, and will be used in developing DICOM compatible medical imaging applications based on a variety of network protocols. The paper describes the data structures, implementation of various basic classes including Data Element classes, Composite Image IOD classes, DIMSE Service classes, and Message Classes. The class library defines the objects managed by DICOM application entities
